Kia Ora, I’m Ben, a physiotherapist with a strong passion for helping people recover from injuries and reach their full physical potential—both in everyday life and with athletic endeavours.
I graduated from AUT with a Bachelors of Physiotherapy in 2022. Since then I have also become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and am certified to perform dry needling. My approach combines evidence-based rehab techniques with performance-focused training to help clients not only heal but also come back stronger.
Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with various populations such as older-persons, post-surgical, chronic pain, and working in premier-level rugby, where I gained hands-on experience in treating high-performance athletes and managing acute and chronic sports injuries.
My key interests lie in strength and conditioning, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and tendinopathy management. Whether you’re an athlete working toward peak performance or someone recovering from an injury, I’m here to guide you through a personalized, structured approach to recovery and improvement. I’m especially passionate about bridging the gap between rehab and performance—making sure you don't just return to your sport, but return better prepared.
Let’s work together to get you moving better, feeling stronger, and performing at your best. View details »
I graduated from Otago University in 2020. I have since returned home to Auckland to pursue my career in rehab and sports physiotherapy.
I have worked as the lead physiotherapist for multiple teams including the NZ Warriors Development, Otago Rugby Mens Development and Richmond Rugby League.
In the clinic, I enjoy working alongside my clients to develop rehab programs that fit their lifestyle and modify their training whilst they recover.
When I'm not working, you'll find me training with my team at CrossFit Kia Maia as we look to build on from our success at last year's national competition. View details »
Since moving to Auckland over 2 years ago, I have gained great experience working in
private practice physiotherapy and alongside club rugby teams. Prior to this, I worked in the
acute hospital setting in Ireland for over 2 years, after graduating from the Masters
physiotherapy programme at University College Cork in 2020.
As a senior physiotherapist at Rehab Co, I have a huge passion for supporting people and
providing evidence-based advice for managing pain & injury. I have a strong background in
exercise-based rehabilitation, and I love to combine these rehabilitation skills with a blend of
practical advice and manual therapy to help people achieve their goals and return back to
their best.
In the clinic, I treat a wide range of injuries and pain presentations, with a special interest in
ACL rehabilitation and other post-surgical cases, tendon injuries, and low back pain. Outside
of work, I love staying active in my spare time by running, playing gaelic football, surfing,
golf, tennis and…a lot of hiking. View details »
